Trash Service

Sanitation employees begin their routes at 7 a.m. and continue until all routes are completed. Sometimes the work load will increase the days following a holiday and routes may not be completed until 9 p.m., but that is not the norm. If a route cannot be completed on schedule, trash will be picked up first thing the following morning.

The city is basically divided into north and south districts.

Those living north of Washington (91st Street) have curbside pickups on Mondays and Thursdays.

Those south of Washington have pickups on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The exception is a one-mile section bordered by Houston and Washington and Olive and Aspen, which is included in the Tuesday-Friday collection schedule.
